If you need a simple and just adorable recipe for Valentine's Day, you must try this meringue recipe.

These cutesy Red and White Meringue kisses are easy to make. It's just one of the recipes I've been teaching in my Valentine's Day baking classes this past week. Basically, you are just working with egg whites and granulated sugar and a bit of food coloring.

For best results:

Always work with room temperature eggs.

Use a clean metal bowl. Wipe clean to remove any traces of oil that could prevent your egg whites from whipping up fully.

Preferably, use a disposable pasty bag because the food coloring may discolor it otherwise.

I'm sure you're sweetheart, children or best friends will appreciate these tasty minty treats.

What are you baking for tomorrow?

Afiyet olsun!

Plain meringue kisses just as spectacular as the dressed up version below.

@Kelly, Bilgi at No. 51 in the Mısır Çarşısı carries the "krem tartarı." I used to bring it back from the US but now she has it in bulk. You just have to ask for it as it's not in one of the main spice bins.

@Becca, depending on how much food coloring paste you use will effect the coloring. Usually, the first ones you pipe out are a lot brighter than the ones toward the end. =)
